| Product Overview | The Rattle Pig Sorting Paddle is a manual livestock handling tool used to guide pigs during sorting, pen transfers and load-out. Movement of the paddle produces a short audible cue from enclosed rattle elements. Its extended shaft lets a stockperson give a visual and sound cue while maintaining practical working distance in commercial pig houses and handling alleys. |
| Key Features |
|
| Structural Components | The tool comprises a paddle head with enclosed rattle elements, a connecting shaft and a hand grip. Head material, shaft construction, overall length and color depend on the selected configuration and are available upon request. |
| Working Principle | The handler positions the paddle where pigs can see it and moves it briefly to generate a rattle. Used with appropriate operator positioning and an open route ahead, the cue can encourage forward movement or help turn animals toward a selected gate. Use intermittent cues and allow pigs time to respond; continuous noise or forceful contact can interrupt orderly movement. |
| Technical Specifications |
|
| Applications | Suitable for moving manageable groups of pigs through nursery and grower-finisher pens, transfer alleys, weighing routes and loading areas. It can be supplied with sorting boards, pen gates and loading equipment for new pig farm construction or upgrades to steel structure livestock buildings. |
| Customization Options | Overall length, shaft type, paddle-head material, grip and color can be reviewed according to project requirements. Selection should consider the animal group, aisle width, gate arrangement and the farm's handling procedure. |
| Installation & Maintenance | No fixed installation is needed. Before use, check that the head, shaft and grip are secure. Clean and disinfect the paddle according to the farm's biosecurity protocol, particularly before moving between production areas. Replace the tool if the head cracks or the connection becomes loose. |
